Grand Duke Luke Nikolaevich of Winia

Grand Duke Luke Nikolaevich of Winia (Luke Nikolaevich Irene-Aquitania; Russian: Великий Князь Люк Никола́евич Ирэн-Аквитания Velikiy Knyaz Lyuk Nikolayevich Iren-Akvitaniya, 26 June [O.S. 14 June] 1899 – 26 November 1976) was Emperor of L'Oréal, King of Makowski and Grand Duke of Carnation from 17 July 1918 until the assassination of him and his wife [Margaret]. His death, via assassination, catapulted his and his wife`s unprepared heir: Wilhelm, the Crown Prince of the Empire onto the Imperial throne. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia would further influence the life and political views of his and Margaret`s son: Wilhelm, eventually dying himself [Nicholas] alongside his wife [Alexandra] and children [Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexei] at Ipatiev House in the rural Russian town of Yekaterinburg; his birthplace. His seven daughters, following with the ancient traditions of the House of Irene-Aquitania, married their elder brothers, in order to keep foreign blooded royals from marrying into their family. He was the third child and youngest and only son of Emperor Rosaline I of Winia and Princess Alix II of Hesse and by Rhine (later Empress Yekaterina Feodorovna of Winia). His older siblings were Elizabeth II of Winia and Grand Duchess Alice Feodorovna.
